Death-Watch (A Dr. Gideon Fell Mystery)

Death-Watch (A Dr. Gideon Fell Mystery)

John Dickson Carr, a master of the Golden Age British-style mystery novel, presents Dr. Gideon Fellâ€™s most chilling case, in which a clock-obsessed killer terrorizes London

A clockmaker is puzzled by the theft of the hands of a monumental new timepiece he is preparing for a member of the nobility. That night, one of the stolen hands is found buried between a policemanâ€™s shoulder blades, stoppingÂ hisÂ clock for all time.

The crime is just peculiar enough to catch the attention of Dr. Gideon Fell, the portly detective whose formidable intellect is the terror of every criminal in London. Working closely with Scotland Yard, he finds that the case turns on the question of why the clock hands were stolen.Â And learning the answer will put Dr. Fell squarely in the path of a madman with nothing but time on his hands.

Death-Watch is the 5th book in the Dr. Gideon Fell Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
